Beach Playground

Gull Lake Beach Playground

Cragun’s is famous for its beautiful long, shallow, safe for kids, sandy beach with a roped off swimming area. It’s the best Gull Lake beach! The North Beach has volleyball courts, horse shoe pits, along with nearby picnic tables and lounge chairs. In the evening, families love the campfires.

The South Beach extends over 1/3 mile! It too, is safe, shallow and sandy with a roped off swimming area, dozens of picnic tables and fire rings abound with plenty of firewood to keep the family fires going into the night for marshmallow roasting, songs and stargazing. The South Beach is also home to the children’s playground area. This area also hosts “cookouts” for reunions, events and family gatherings.

Things To Do Reviews

“Activities were fantastic – ice bowling, kitty cat snowmobiles, trolley rides. The New Year’s Eve party in the Sports Centre was so much fun! We stayed there all night with the kiddos and they loved it! We visit Cragun’s every year over 4th of July, but this was our first winter trip. Loved it! Thank you!“

“We went boating for a day, golfed for a day, hung out at the pools and beach. We had a fantastic time and plan to come back every year!”

“What a wonderful resort for families with small children. The playground on the beach was just what the kids needed! Shallow clear water, pontoons for our family to go for a ride, horse drawn trolleys! This place is a families dream!”

“I cannot state enough what a GREAT weekend getaway this was for us and our three young grandsons; ages 6, 5, and 3. LOVED the pool, pontoon ride, fishing, walking, playground, etc. Also really appreciate the emails prior and after asking for feedback.”
